    I found the professionals day better then last year. They managed to filter the gamer kiddies that still were around in masses last year. So it was a lot more chilled out.

    I also liked that you could get a beer everywhere and even for free on the right places (Intel). Last year it was a real problem.

    Only thing that i didn't liked was the trend that companys shows their stuff only in private or only every 2 hours. I thought that already ruined E3. On the professionals day at least everybody should be able to see everything.

    Game that i liked the most was Farcry 2. It looked awesome especialy when you burn down things in it (looks extremely realistic). Crysis (which also looked awesome) will find a real competitor in it imo.

    I played Portal and didn't get it

    TF2 i have only seen other people playing it.

    Tbh one day at the GC isn't enough anymore. It has reached a size that you can't see/try everything on one day.

    1 and 3 feature my travel, so for those not interested in a lot of trains, skip to 2 straight away.

    Couple of great games down there, although I do have to say that I expected a lot more of some games than what they turned out to be. What I also noted is that if you walk through the whole convention and you play game after game, you really notice how incredibly unoriginal like 90 percent of all those games are. It all looks alike, it all plays alike.

    The whole convention was also much too german orientated imo and that really hurts the international character of the show. Its an international audience yet every single guy who starts a chat with you does so in German, some even refuse to talk on if you ask for English. All flyers, magazines and games that are given away are German, etc...

    The only guy that started in English right away was a guy from Max/Autodesk.

    Besides that the show was really cool though. Plenty of nice games and a good source for some inspiration

    Yea i found it a bit strange that everybody started talking in german with me. At least on the professionals day they should expect the majority of the people to be english speakers.

    The info material etc. should be bilingual.
